The name of this TripAdvisor listing is Catania, but it looks just like the Cathedral in Ortigia. The internet uses the term Baroque Architecture and, without looking it up, connotes in me, a Spanish or Arabic influence. Is easy to, as I, blinked and missed, the original Greek structure. I think it was the columns after entering into the vestibule. As with many of these religious buildings, it was clearly visible, the amount of work done to achieve the everlasting beauty.

A large area, but easy to walk around, there are numerous ruins in various degrees of preservation, with the Temple of Concordia, the most well preserved and most impressive. Some of the ruins have clearly been renovated in parts, to show what they had been like, but that does not distract from the exhibits. Definitely worth a visit for history buffs, but you really need a guide to explain it all to you, to make sense. Can be busy, but over the large area, visitors will spread out.

Superb historical Greek temple site. Lots of history and suggest you have a guided tour to get the most out of the visit. Easy walking.

An amazing structure which has a history of being converted from an ancient monument into a Christian church. Recommended

This is a large site with several temples and ruins. Some of the temples have been restored to show how they would have been and you can see where columns, etc, have been put back together with the joining pieces clearly shown in most places. There are some information panels but not many. We had a guide with our group which was good. I think if you didn't have a guide it would certainly be worth buying the guide book. Lots to see over the site.

We decided to drive the 2 hour 30 minutes from Taomina to the Valley of Temples as we really wanted to visit during our holiday in Sicily and we were glad we did. Due to the drive we arrived at 12:45pm but luckily there was still plenty of spaces in the car park due to us being out of season. We paid at ticket office situated at the entrance and started our walk through the valley. There is just so much to see and a range of different temples/ruins is varying condition. There is a cafe for refreshments but I would also and the site seems never ending but interesting and enjoyable the whole way. Unfortunately as we had to do the drive back we didn't get chance to look round the whole site or the gardens which is also massive. Would definitely get there earlier and spend an entire day there to make sure you see and get round everything.

Went with group of 10 on a Sicily tour. Our guide was great, funny, informative. Tour is not all that long. But, with the blistering heat, was ok with that! Fresh juice, snacks a long pathway.

We went with no tour or guide and had a great time. We arrived at about 7.45pm and it was easy to park and no queue for tickets. Tickets cost you €13 per adult, kids go free. At night the temples are lit up and spectacular and it's so much cooler then the day. It took us about 2 hrs to walk around the whole site and back to the car with an ice cream stop on the way. I believe the night time opening hours are between July and September but you would need to check that before visiting. There are some boards around so you can find some info out but really the Temples speak for themselves. Definitely come here, it is spectacular.

Located on the historic Ortygia Island this Cathedral incorporates the Doric columns of the original 5th century BC temple in tits walls. The Cathedral also contain a chapel dedicated to St Lucy the patroness of the city.

You definitely need to hire a guide if you are going to get the best out of your visit to this amazing UNESCO site. Lorenzo was outstanding -full of knowledge with a passionate flair for making history come alive. The ruins of this ancient Greek city include temples to the gods and a few resident goats!

This site of Greek ruins is well worth a visit. The main temple is older than the Parthenon and in better condition. Try and go early as there is no shade during your walk from 1 end of the site to the other.

Do you want to see Greek temples, but Athens sounds too busy. Here's your place! Some of the best preserved classic Greek temples in the world without the crowds. Skip the botanical gardens. It was not crowded, although there were other people. We couldn't get the audio tour to work. It was remarkably hard to get in using the online tickets. But definitely worthwhile.

Wonderful opportunity to wonder among impressive remains of Greek temples that pay homage Zeus, Hercules, an unknown Temple of Concordia. I recommend seeing the museum before exploring the temples. A combination ticket was 13.50 euros. I did not find it difficult to explore the entire site and never saw the shuttle cart during the 3.5 hours I visited. There is so much to see.

Well worth a visit although come prepared with sensible walking shoes, water, sunscreen and hat. We walked the whole park which took a couple of hours but the two best preserved temples( Juno and Concordia ) are at the start with the cafe in between them. Cafe food and drink was ok but do not use the toilets there. Go further on to the villa Hardcastle where there are nicer serviced toilets ( and a lot more of them) just down the hill to the right. We got the train from Palermo which was 16 euros return each and then a local taxi to take us 10 mins to the park ( 15 euros). Would recommend getting the audio guide which comes with a map ( 5 euros each) so that you walk the shortest route and get information about each temple. Well worth a visit.

This UNESCO site is a must see while in Sicily. If you don't see anything else in Sicily, seeing these temples is well worth it. They are mostly Greek with some Roman too. Contained in this UNESCO park has temples better preserved than many in Greece. It requires a rather lengthy walk, but is worth it.
